The Albian to Turonian carbon isotope record from the Shilaif Basin (United Arab Emirates) and its regional and intercontinental correlation

Abstract: The sedimentary record of the Arabian Shelf offers a unique opportunity to study the Cretaceous (Albian–Turonian) greenhouse climate from a palaeoequatorial perspective. In particular, hemipelagic to pelagic carbonate successions from the extensive Shilaif intra‐shelf basin have the potential to produce an excellent record of carbon cycle perturbations during this interval. This study presents a 269 m thick chemostratigraphic (carbonate δ13C and δ18O) record from the Middle Albian to Early Turonian of central … Show more

“…6, Shilaif basin well) (Azzam, 1995). An early Turonian age for the Tuwayil Formation is inferred from its stratigraphic position above the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event δ 13 C isotope excursion documented in the upper sequence of the Shilaif Formation (K140 sequence) (Vahrenkamp et al, 2015;Perrotta et al, 2017;Hennhoefer et al, 2019) (see Fig. 6, Shilaif basin well).…”

“…The δ 13 C curve of the studied section differs significantly from δ 13 C records in other localities (e.g., Jarvis et al, 2006;Gambacorta et al, 2015;Giorgioni et al, 2015;Bornemann et al, 2017). The Upper Cenomanian is marked instead by rather negative carbon isotopic values that do not match any record worldwide, except, possibly, the Shilaif and Natih basins (United Arab Emirates) where a prominent decrease in δ 13 C values is detected in the Late Cenomanian prior to OAE 2 (Vahrenkamp, 2013;Wohlwend et al, 2016;Hennhoefer et al, 2019). Such differences may reflect either diagenetic alteration or/and the presence of hiatuses.…”

“…Paleogeographic reconstructions during the Upper Cretaceous of the area indicate development of intrashelf basins over the eastern edge of the Arabian Plate (Vahrenkamp et al 2015). Deposition of organic-rich facies of the Middle Sarvak source rock took place behind the Mishrif rim, which represent favorable carrier/reservoir rock qualities in the area of our study (Al-Zaabi et al 2010;Hennhoefer et al 2018). The stratigraphy of the Cenomanian Sarvak-Mishrif sequence of the southern Persian Gulf basin has been discussed in more detail recently (Jodeyri-Agaii et al 2018).…”
